I was looking through the system menu on my DirecTV receiver and I noticed while playing in the satellite signal strength portion of the system menu that not all of the transponders are being used. For instance, some of the transponders have no signal where as others have signal strength in the upper 90 range on the same satellite. And then there are some spots that just have a big X in the spot where a number should be.
Why is that? Why would DirecTV not want to use all of the capacity of their satellites in orbit? Seems like such a waste of a satellite in orbit.
